Just down and back

...is what I heard from Bill, after running down the the White Street Pier and doing a compilation of burpees, sprints, planks, even bear crawls through the sand.

Now, those three little words, "down and back" seem small, perhaps even easy?

Not to be fooled, those three little words meant down to Bertha Street and back to the studio, and all though the distance may be short (little under 3 miles total) after calisthenics on the beach, 3 miles is tough.

I told him it was tough, but I made it through and it even feels better after its DONE, he said "join the club" :)

Anyone who has been physically active knows the "feels so good it hurts" burn in the muscles, that soreness that is indicative of a good past workout. Even though I know I'll be sore, I know it'll be difficult and I know it'll push me... if I can remember to look past all that and keep focused on my goals I'll forget about the burn and the sweat in the eyes.

I'm proud and honored to be part of an unwritten "club" that enjoys a good work out, a little muscle soreness and certainly a great deal of accomplishment.

What will you do today?

Running is a pain in the ass but it'll give you a nice one.
